I agree about the pride of walking across the stage, and I know what you mean. 17 weeks of Military Police school was hell, I often times pondered if I could make it, but I stayed strong and graduated on the 20th week there....Alot of shit sucks but like you said, once you've earned something, no one can take it away. My point was to show one situation where a shorter college would be ideal.
"Half the College Experience"....
I don't really like eating packs of 78 cent hotdogs from walmart and making it the mainstay of my nutritional program just to make it through school. If I could get a degree in two years an spare myself the "experience," I would definately do so. For some people; the ones financially seperated from the rest of us from birth: school is great, fun, and lovely. For a portion of us, it's a struggle alongside a full-time job and a second part-time job. No I don't have kids, and I haven't fuc**ed up my life in any way, I was just brought into this world by poeple that weren't rich. This is the hand the world has delt me, now I must win with it...

Well slackware's installer is far easier than I ever imagined. And if you really knew indepth about apt-get and dpkg, you'd realize that slackware doesn't have anything close to it. and nor does Fedora. Yum is weak and in it's infancy, and doesn't have neither the functionality nor the power of apt or dpkg. But unless you knew the 2 in-depth, you'd be clueless as to what I'm relating to.
A while back while reading in an issue of "Linux User & Developer," I read an article about how bad the install was for first timers installing Debian. It went over one of the readers hard times, troubles, etc. After the user finally coming to a completion with the install, they made a comment that made so much sense to me. With the greatness of apt-get literally letting you uprade anything and everything, once you have debian installed, you never need to reinstall. That's probably why most users don't really bother with a new installer, because for one they're already se and won't have to deal with it anymore, and because secondly...Even the thought of the installation process invokes uncontrolable goose-bumps....:P
Definately:)....I just moved out of my g/f's place, when I lived there I didn't pay for anything except food and new geek stuff. It was awesome, now that I moved out, I don't have that luxery...She is soon moving in over here which is to lead to even more money in my pocket:)
hahaha...I'm a Debian User myself and I think that buying my first pc with winME on it, was my biggest bork...Running much better hardware these days [4 years down the road...]
Definately a nice piece of Hardware:) Might start working on eating less to save money so I can get one:). The single life doesn't leave me with too deep of pockets these days....
I was thinking, when I was using my KVM Switch, I noticed that you can reverse it's usage, instead of having 4 machines and 1 monitor/mouse. You can have 1 machine KVM'ed out to 4 displays, keyboard, and mice.
Once done you could possible just use a terminal with vnc and use port forwarding to get x to work.
Not sure it would work but just a thought...

For all of us lifting guys who read M.D., Flex. or other Bodybuilding Mags, this article should surely raise an eyebrow since Myostatin has always been a rival for common occurance of those "plateus". I see maybe the next possible Ronnie Coleman, or Jay Cutler, especially when you take into career that this child has special genetic characteristics that could easily allow him to surpass other competitors of the sport.
....is really awesome, I use it myself and have done many great things with it and Knoppix both. I think that there is becoming a wide variety of corporate entity's finally starting to see these things as well and hopefully will more and more help out GNU projects to better both their projects and ours here in the OSS world.
Linux Stores are non-existant here in Paducah, KY and there doesn't seem to be any hope for some time...There is a nice sized LUG here to which I am a participant/project manager for [openpaducah.net] and I think that all it would take is someone with some talent in business skills and the money to get it off of the ground.

I think taking google would cause a serious disturbance; hence everygeek in the world against them :| I wouldn't even wan to temp that!

Well After further reading....Maybe I was wrong!.... "These suggest geologic activity on Titan, but we really don't know how to interpret them yet..."
Well obviously nothing too outrageous was found: i.e. aliens, space ships, etc. or we wouldn't have even heard about it :).

I definately agree, they are so damn market savvy nothing is beyond them to try to get more.
